This is a data word that will be transferred to the EEPROM memory during WRITE
operation or data read from memory after READ operation.
Write
Stores written data to be transmitted to EEPROM after WRITE command is
issued in EPC register
Read
Returns the data read from EEPROM after last READ command issued through
EPC register
5.24. EPC
– EEPROM Control Register
This is EEPROM control register, used to read and write the EEPROM data. The EEPROM is used
to store calibration data and other manufacturing related information. The calibration data from
addresses 0 to 23 is used to initialise offset DAC and internal gain correction coefficients after
power-up or reset coming from a motherboard. Other locations not reserved for factory usage can
be used to store different sets of calibration coefficients for different gains. In this case, software
needs to read desired EEPROM locations and write offset coefficients to DAC and gain coefficients
to GCOEF registers.

0
EEP_BUSY
– EEPROM Busy
This is a status bit that indicates when the EEPROM is ready to accept next access.
After any access to EEPROM EEP_BUSY bit goes and stays high as long as the
access is not finished.
0 : board ready to accept next command
1 : board busy and writes to EPC register will be ignored
USAGE
Directly after reset this flag is active for about 1ms until the initialisation
process is finished

– Read / Write
This bit is used to select desired EEPROM operation.
0 : WRITE to EEPROM
1 : READ from EEPROM

EEP_ADDR
– EEPROM Address
This is address of the word location (range 0..511) in the EEPROM memory. The
map of the locations is given in Table 10.
